Current mood:	calm
Current music:	The Video Game Pianist

By Spiderlight
There's a mini-spider crawling up and down my mirror. At intervals, he will appear to glow due to the position of my desklamp. He's been doing this for quite a while, too. With this and the spider outside our kitchen window, I'm beginning to wander how used to the l'il arachnids I'm going to become.

I'm listening to soft piano music. The half-light from the lamp (and, occassionaly, the spider) makes me feel somewhat cultured. Now I just need a clever novel and a cappuchino. Never mind the fact that I really ought to be in bed soon, that I have no clever novel in gatherable distance, and that the piano music is mostly from Nintendo video-games. It's the mood that counts.

Actually, I was listening to Classic FM on the way to and from church yesterday. This, along with the bright blue skies, mellowing emerald trees and the actual fact I was on the move, allowed my thoughts to really wander. I realised how stagnant I've become, living out each day much like the last, and not doing anything constructive or especially self-rewarding, and how I need to find some way to stop this. I thought of what I could do, who I could be and what my future held. I'll elaborate some other time, maybe.

Term is getting very close. Where did August go? I've spent so long in this house, along with Holly, that readjustment will be somewhat jarring. The signs are still minor at this point, with a few more Hollowegians around, and a few deadlines for Orbital-related articles creeping into my weekly schedule. I can't say I've really used the Summer productively, having not done anything notable outside of Amecon. I didn't have a job, again, although hopefully we'll catch one as the sixth-formers depart over the next week or so. I'm beginning to have to look at reading lists, and ponder what this next academic year will hold...

I had a dream that I set up and ran an airline company, although it was all very arty, emotionally-driven and abstract. It was quite odd.

Okay, I'll go and sleep now. It's all too easy to sleep these days, but I'm supposed to be up before 11, so staying up and making a less-abstract update is a little pointless. I've still got much to say...
